Family members said Williamson attended a party late Saturday. She was shot in the torso after getting into an argument with several males, according to 2X.

"Right before she left she kept saying, 'I don't want to go out,'" said Williamson's neighbor, Leeandra Thompson.

Metrosafe confirmed police received a call of shots fired in the area before 4 a.m. on Sunday.

A witness, who did not want to be identified, told WLKY, "There wasn't no punches thrown when I was right there, all it was was talking. So I could just walk right through the middle of them."

"When I heard the gun shot, I ran down the street and I saw her head band on the floor," said Terrance Williams, the victim's friend.

Williamson was not at the scene by the time police arrived, according to 2X. She arrived at University Hospital by personal vehicle, where she died in surgery.

The witness said they did not know what started the argument, but Thompson said she was told Williamson accidentally stepped on the gunman's shoe earlier in the night.

"I was just trying to tell her to go on to the car. I didn't even try to break up nothing, because they weren't even fighting when I was right there," the witness said.

The witness said he thought somebody fired a shot into the air, and didn't find out Williamson had been killed until later.

"When I heard that she got shot, really though, and how the crowd was, that's the first thing that came to my mind. Anybody could have been shot, I could have got shot," the witness said. "I know that the family is hurt and I'm hurt for the family."

"To sit there and willingly, intentionally shoot a girl, a female, in the chest over a kicked shoe or whatever the situation was, its ridiculous," said Thompson.

Authorities have no suspects at this time.

"Whoever did this, please turn yourself in, because you took a wonderful daughter away from her mother, family, friends, the world," said Thompson.

Williamson was set to graduate in May and had dreams of owning her own store.

"So much gleam and shine about herself. Personality, what she was going to school to do, who she wanted to be for the rest of her life, it's sad it was cut down so short," said Thompson.

Witnesses said there were roughly 1,000 people at the party sponsored by Louisville Dream Team Entertainment. The promoters did not respond to a request from WLKY for comment.

A spokesman for the Gillespie Building said they can not comment because of the ongoing investigation, but said their prayers are with Williamson's family.
